AI.com starts limited rollout to a small number of users, CEO says

Earlier today, AI.com CEO Kris Marszalek announced that the platform has begun rolling out its product to a small group of users. The phased launch comes just two days after the company said it would release the product within 48 hours, as we previously reported.

Marszalek posted on X that the team will use this initial wave to fix issues and gather feedback before expanding the beta gradually. The platform, which launched with a Super Bowl commercial on February 8, promises autonomous AI agents that can perform real-world tasks like organizing work, sending messages, and building projects.

The rollout has been anything but smooth. When the Super Bowl ad aired, ai.com’s website crashed under massive traffic, leaving users frustrated and confused about what the product actually does.

But the bigger headache came from the sign-up process. To claim a username and get beta access, ai.com asks users to enter credit card information with a five-minute countdown timer. The company says this verifies you’re human, not a bot.

That explanation hasn’t satisfied everyone. X user @depressivehacks wrote, “Why do you guys need a credit card to sign up for early beta access? I beta test a lot of various softwares. Not once has someone required me to give them a credit card to do so.” Another user, @saasbyMohd, asked Grok if “asking for credit card without giving any details is a Scam?”

An OP of a Reddit thread from 3 days ago asked, “Has anyone fallen for this tomfoolery, handed over their credit card to Kris and can post screenshots of what you see thereafter?

AI.com describes itself as working toward AGI through a decentralized network where agents self-improve and share new capabilities across millions of users. The platform runs on OpenClaw technology, which community posts show can handle tasks from home automation to trading.

Despite the announcement of a gradual release, actual user reports of the product working remain scarce. Screenshots of the interface or real-world usage examples from the current limited rollout haven’t surfaced yet.

The platform offers a free tier with optional paid subscriptions for enhanced features. Hundreds of thousands of users are reportedly in the queue waiting for access.
